Well-known conditions for the formation of glass from the melt are sufficiently fast cooling rates and directed bonding between the constituents. These conditions, however, are not specific enough to select promising melts which may form glasses upon cooling. Therefore, the phase transition from a solid to a melt and the accompanying flow and storage of enthalpy and entropy are considered in detail.
